2010 Spring Happenings
at
Parkview Gardens
Part Florist... Part Greenhouse... ALL Flowers for over 80 Years!

Garden Note WAIT ON REMOVING WINTER MULCHES from your flowerbeds! March can be a fickle month and the mulch will continue to protect the plants from our sudden temperature changes. When the active growth begins to appear, remove a little of the mulch over a period of a few days, allowing the plants to used to the light and temperatures. IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO REMOVE MULCH A LITTLE LATER THAN TO REMOVE IT TOO EARLY!
March 17 (Wednesday) St. Patrick's Day
Garden Note Take time to prepare the vegetable garden for planting. Many of the old time gardeners say to have your potatoes planted the week of S. Patrick's Day. Till through the garden if the weather permits - hopefully exposed weeds and seeds will die. The addition of processed manure, peat moss or compost is good additives for building compost humus in the soil. 
March 20 (Saturday) 1st Day of Spring! Vernal Equinox
Garden Note Plant Pansies! Spring is here and they are able to take our roller coaster temperatures.

Garden Note Late March and early April are good times to transplant trees and shrubs. As soon as the soil is workable, but before the buds have swelled or broken, it is safe to move trees and shrubs

Plants such as pansies, dianthus, snapdragons and even petunias can take some of the temperature fluctuations better than others.
